You Get What You Get And You Don't Get Upset! (Ep. 102)

0:00 The good thing about working for yourself is that you can do that. You can just do Dick all one day and it doesn't matter. There you go. I did that for like 35 years. I got paid for it, so whatever. Well if I do Dick all I don't get paid so that's I did. That's the difference. That's a Michelob Ultra that's not even really a beer. It's a beer I like. Like can I open? This now sure. Are you guys already open ready? Where'd you get that from the tap? It's. Like you're drinking air. OK, you guys, and we've only just begun. OK. Comes right out of the faucet. Comes right out of the faucet.

0:42 This is 2 to Wonder, 2 to Wonder. Whelming man. It's the podcast that you didn't know you didn't need. Did I get that right? No, the world. It's the podcast that the world didn't know it needed. No, I feel like mine's better. I feel like mine fits I really, really well. I feel like that you didn't know that you didn't. Need because. Once you hear it, then you realize, yeah, I didn't. Now, now that I told you, you don't need that. We'll see you later. You're right. That's right. Bye. We are Dave, Rachel and Foreman and welcome to the podcast, which by the way is sponsor list this week. You can always help us out with that. You can help us out.

1:25 Go to our website. We have a website. Weeks. Yes, underwhelming.ca, underwhelming.ca 'cause we're Canadian and we have a sponsorship page there. Or you can e-mail us Dave rachelforeman@gmail.com. I'm starting to think after some of the discussion in last week's episode that perhaps the Ingersoll or Woodstock Home Hardwares would like to jump on board. Oh, sure, since we're helping them out anyway, yeah. Rachel loves. Them hey, I just got an audition oh, maybe I shouldn't say that today I. Hope they don't listen to this podcast. Right. Yeah, Never know. Yeah, they're the ones that and they actually they're owned by the same owners own the Ingersoll and Home Woodstock, Home Hardwares and.

2:10 They Oh, OK. They have now since our discussion, they've got this internal battle going on, on which location can sell more 12 foot tall inflatable Santas. Yeah, so we're doing a draw for a Yeti, and then I did realize that Ingersoll said they do delivery free. Did you know Ingersoll? She's doing free delivery Santa. Hey, if I have to, I'll do it. Will you do are you is that? Absolutely. Is that a promise? Free delivery? I got a truck. So you personally? Sure will you're. Already here first, Woodstock will now give you free delivery. Yeah. But then it is an Ambro, right? But. It's Ambro that wants to put up the 12 foot sand. We talked about the Ambro's a little bit in between. So you know when 1 location is out then those all those Ambronians are going back and forth. Embroids.

3:01 OK, sure. Embryonates. Embryids. I like embryids now. Yeah, you kind of like embroid, though. You don't know. I don't think you want that though. Embryonian, I guess. Is that what they are? Embryonian. Or embryonas, embryonas or embryonite? Embryonates. Yeah, anyway, so they can go to either. So, so this tome tome hardwares are really, yeah, they're they got to keep these inflatable Santas in stock and they're raking it in. Oh, they're cashing in big time. Absolutely. Yeah, it's genius. Both your locations are cashing in big time. Yeah, yeah, we're doing great. So this, the idea is to get out and the entire town of Embro, Yeah. Everyone who lives there gets this Santa. Yeah.

3:47 And puts it up, inflates the Santa on their in on their front yard. And now you got a you got something that everybody can come and see. Yeah. I don't know what kind of a spectacle that is. They're all the same. They're all the same thing, yeah, on everybody's yard. But it is sort of interesting that the whole town does it. That's the exact same one. Yeah, yeah. I don't love that it's like a retail thing. I do love that it's like a community spirit thing. Yes. That's what I love about it. But you know how everybody say, Val, everybody says Valentine's Day Day is just a retail holiday. Yeah, I kind of feel like this is like a retail thing to do. You know it's a gesture. I guess definitely is. Yeah, it sounds like it. Yeah, because don't they get a BBQ or something? What's the?

4:30 Yeah, you win this and it's only the contested designed to just be a street. It's the Santa St. Challenge and you would win a community BBQ with Broil King and all kinds of stuff next summer. But if you so. If you get the whole town it. Might be a little difficult for them to do an you have BBQ for the whole town BBQ. Maxes out at a certain number of people. I can tell you that right now. The promo people have already deciphered that from the get go. But you are completely negative about this. Whole I know I'm not totally negative. I think it's very, I think it's a, you know, very spirited thing to do for Christmas. I don't think it's fun. I mean, but it's also fun just to like decorate your house and go all out. And you know, people love to tour around and look at all the lights.

5:17 Sure. So that. You know, it doesn't have to be this one specific thing from a specific store. Then maybe this will make you happen. Oh, what do we got? New developments include the entirety of the village of Mount Elgin. For all the residents to purchase a giant inflatable gingerbread man. Now where do you get those? Wherever you want. Oh. See, there's not a specific one that you need. No. OK, I feel like. Those are harder to come by though, like Gingerbread Man. Versus issues with all of this? Sorry, I guess. I'm well, I don't. Know guys, like I don't think I'm negative, I think I'm just poking holes through this like this should have been thought through. Don't poke holes and everyone's inflatables. Just get a gingerbread man.

6:02 Yeah, come on. It's not like I'm going around with a pin and poking all the inflatables. You sure? Don't like it? Yeah. So you're not in favor of that? It's fine. That's fine. How about the entirety of the villages of Princeton and also Foldens? To put up snowmen. OK, well, let's back up a second. Here are they. Doing it because the other town, like is this like a town thing caught on to the other towns? Contagious. Well, it's interesting. They're not all doing it like on their own. They're they're doing it because they've heard the other towns are doing it right or are they doing it? For the challenge, it's like a challenge. It's all starts it the you can. The Ground Zero for this shit is whatever town's Facebook group. Right.

6:47 Negative. OK, well, just this is where it one starts. They probably saw it another town doing it and thought we could do that, but we don't want to do the Santa thing. Let's do Frosty. Sure. Yes. Look, here's here's where I'm going to OK, it's starting to get a little out of hand for me. Would you so Princeton, Yes. I'm not even sure if I've been through Princeton. I've no idea. I have been through Enbro. I've been through Mount Elgin, mount Elgin, Mount Elgin, OH. Yeah, Mount Elvin Golf Club. What? Was the other place foldens? OK, see now. Now if you. Don't know where that is. It's. Off a foldens line. If everybody in I actually. Did guess that in my head you said it. I know.

7:32 Foldens yeah, puts up a frosty the snowman. What's that like 4 houses? Like what's the point? Like you, when I drive through foldens and I'm probably speeding, I could knock them down with just the wind from my truck. From the black. Tracks right? They all wobble at the same time. Wow. Foldens you like Foldens needs to partner with, you know, Teeterville and then Totterville and then all of. Totterville. Right, they need to part like folders. Can't this this Ambro is one thing. Embro It's a sizable sound. Emerald's doing it to win a contest, why are these other ones doing it? For fun for.

8:15 Joy and fun, joy and joy. We know you don't know anything about those. Words but you. Don't. Become the negative Nelly of this I don't. Know, but you are supposed. To be Dave? No, No. I'm not. I'm not negative at all. I think it's great. I just think Dave Lolden's is a bit of a scratch. I mean, I feel like Folden's needs to partner with about seven other little things. So you think Mount Elgin and the the other one are good but then folding? Bro, Princeton is fine, yeah. Is the one that you take issue with Beyond but Mount Elgin and Imbro, yeah, that's fine because. You've heard of them? I've heard of. Fulden of Princeton, and I've heard of Fulden's. I don't recall that I've ever been through either one. I didn't know there was a Fulden's town.

8:56 I knew there was a Fulden's line. Well, there's an intersection with some houses on it. OK. Well. It's just want to do it. Thanks you. Joy fine, if you want to, if you want to go out there. And I actually support the other towns because they're not doing it for some retail reason. I support that. Retail reason, yeah, you have to buy them somewhere. Yes, I get it, but you could spread the health. Right. Buy it from anywhere. Sure you could. You could support your local Ingersoll Home Hardware building center right? Or friggin Amazon. Yeah. What do you want to what do you want them all to buy it on Amazon? What's up? Well, I don't know but. You would wouldn't here. What? Here, here's one more wrinkle in this tail. Yeah.

9:37 Can I add. Can I add one more wrinkle in this tail? When I sure the woman I talked to who told me about how how Mount Elgin is doing Gingerbread man. Right. She also informed me that she would not be participating. Why? Why'd she tell? Is she mad about it? Not that she's mad about it, not that she's against the idea. It's just that she would. She prefers the look of snowmen, and she would rather it be snowmen than gingerbread. I get it. I'm a snowman lover. I would have totally been hauled in on a snowman. That's fair. So she doesn't want to purchase a gingerbread man because that's not her style. Yeah, no. So she's prepared. Who wants to be that? Town Who wants to be the town person who refuses to participate? When the whole town is doing it.

10:20 Yeah, that's like the the guy in the you know, when you pay it, you know, you pay it forward or whatever in the line, you know, you buy the guy behind you at the Yeah. You don't want to be the guy that stops the pay you. Don't want to be the guy that stops. It. That's right. No, that's, that's his name is Tim Allen, and he's married to Jamie Lee Curtis. And it's Christmas with the cranks. Yeah. Which I love, by the way, and I watch every year. A ridiculous 7 foot tall snowman. It's the entire plot of that movie. You're like that. Crank, I give up. I would participate. I would. Sure you would. Now you say it.

11:09 This is due to underwhelming demand, the podcast that's mission statement reads. You get what you get and you don't get upset. Absolutely it does. That is our mission statement. We live by that. You know, the kids were really, the kids were taught that a lot at daycare. Yes, of course, yeah. Of course, get what you get and then they would come home and repeat it. Yes, that's, I'm pretty sure that's where I got that from, yes. And it's our mission statement, OK? Good, and they'll never realize what it really means until they get older and start listening to this, Yes. You're like, Oh yeah. Well, yeah. This is what I this is what I got. This is what I got. Doesn't matter what I expected. Speaking of daycare and my children, they've actually you don't like. That that was nailed it well.

11:56 My children are because we were talking about daycare. And anyway, I got it. I got it. I'm gonna talk about my kids. They seem to have grown up so much. And the last in the last year, maybe less than the last year. I feel like we've entered like a new era of parenting, like it's a new era of our lives and. It is this one, huh? What era is this one? The just a little more independent era. Just a little. Not totally, no. He set you up for a Taylor Swift reference and you just botched it. Yeah. You couldn't. Well, that's the era. What do you, what do you want? Reputation like, I don't know. What do you want me to say for that? Planning a tour? No.

12:38 The growing up era. Yeah, or the growing up. Era, whatever. I don't know, I kind of I have a bit of a a sad life lately. I work by myself. A bit of a satellite. Yeah, it like I don't, I don't do a lot lately, I feel like in the last few weeks, but I realized some of my favorite times of the week now is when I can drop off Julia at her activity and just leave and go do whatever the hell I want for three hours because that's how long she's in play practice for. She's in a, she's in a theater group, so she's got two rehearsals a week for two hours and three hours each. So I can just drop her off and go shopping. I could go, I go to the gym.

13:22 Lately even I've been, I don't know, I could get, do an, I have an appointment somewhere, get my nails done. It's like so freeing that I can just drop her off and I don't have to stay. I can go. They don't want me to stay. Kendall, I can't do that yet. She's only 7. So if I if she has an activity, I have to go and I have to sit and wait and stay. Julia, I don't need to, I don't need to do that. I can leave. But before, just before this period, were you staying for like the entire 3 hours? No, no, not really. She was kind of going with other people. And so I guess she's been in one other place. So it's might have been a year that we've been doing well. It was last spring.

14:03 In the spring she did it, so I guess it kind of started then. But she's also doing the babysitter's course soon. Like within the next week. Well, that's a good. Thing so that's another like OK, so we were talking about babysitting and and she's like, well, I'll babysit kind of she's got a lot of stipulations, but when it comes to babysitting, she's like, I don't want to babysit babies. I'll babysit anybody who's like 4 age 4 to like, I don't know, 10 And I'm like, well, you're 11 right now. So you got is it? Is that the babysitting course? Like they'll teach you how to change a diaper and how to care for babies. And what do you do when you're whole? She's like I, I'm not, I'm not. Doing that I'm not. Doing that not didn't care of babies. That's not what I wanted.

14:44 To do Fair enough. I didn't want to do that either. I hated babysitting when I was a kid. And I'm not sure she's gonna like it either, to be honest. But we'll see if she wants to if you put money in her. Hand If you put money in her hand, she'll like it. Julia. Julia is a hustler. She will do anything to make a buck. And so if you pay her, she'll do it. She will be OK. So these activities that you're taking your kids to like when? So if I take Kendall to dance class, for instance, right, I got to sit there and wait. Why? Well, because I can't just leave her there. And plus she'd cry. She would hate that. She's very attached. We, I think we all, I think our family is a little bit codependent because if we need groceries, we all go and get groceries. What's wrong if we?

15:34 Need to go and run some errands and go to like, I don't know, just a couple stores. We're all going to the store because nobody wants to stay home alone. Everybody wants to go out. Please leave together all. Stay. Yeah, I'm. Happy. I leave. Everybody will be upset and they'll be like, well, you're what? You're leaving. Yeah, Yeah, I'm and I do sometimes leave, but rarely. And then what happens? But I have. Other friends who leave all the time and they're like, what is wrong with you? I'm like, I don't know. Who's codependent on who here? I don't know, doesn't. Well, Dave, you go out with your family all the time. You guys always do everything. Together. Well, we, we used to, we only have one child, so she would go and do all that stuff with us. But she was never really a yeah, but I was. Saying like the kids had to come with us because they weren't old enough to stay home.

16:22 You're right. And they're. Not old enough to stay so both of. US are going. They have to come. OK, but sometimes mom and Charlotte would go or sometimes dad and Charlotte would go or something like that. But I'll be frank with you like I've. We would if if Charlotte was invited to a birthday party and it's like, here you go. Bye. Have her, She's yours. Well, yeah, the baby for a couple of hours, which I. Loved birthday parties for when they were younger because that was the only time really that you were dropping them off and leaving. Yep. But some parents I would, Some parents wouldn't. Some parents would. No, some parents would stay. Some parents. If it was Kendall, I would have to well, recently I have to stay. And recently I've caught up a couple of times with Foreman when he drops his home.

17:07 Got her off to swim. Because she's. Swimming for three hours. Three, 3 1/2 hours, yeah, I'm not staying. Why would he stay? Well, I mean, that's yeah. So now Julia's in an activity that takes that long and. And it's very freeing for me. How is it OK? So I can go do whatever I want. I can't just like, leave on a Saturday afternoon when everybody's at home, you know, doing stuff or playing or whatever. If I leave and Jeremy's trying to do like yard work or something and then there's kids here and their friends are playing, I can't just take off. But can't you take off like Monday to Friday? Well. Yeah. But during school hours. Also I have to I actually do work. Yes, but isn't I mean you're.

17:49 Pretty busy. You say you need some alone time. How? How much alone time would you say you would average on per day? Well, six hours. That's that's a lot. Yeah, but I'm working like I'm not. Just like 100% of the time. If it's a busy day, yes. Are you? Then I barely eat, but 'cause I sometimes my job's kind of like if you're busy, you're super busy and if you're not, you're like dead, right? So. Today. In particular, was a dead day. Yes, this is we're we're trying to nail down the the when it's not busy days. Yeah, and and trying and trying to number them. How many of those a week? A week? Well, I usually have some work to do. Today I really didn't at all.

18:37 Maybe one day a week where I could get away with doing nothing. So when you go and drop your oldest daughter, this Here's another thing I'm curious about. So that means when you are taking her to the play, to to rehearsal, he's rehearsing. Yeah. Jeremy is at home looking after the youngest. Correct. And so your goal is to not, I mean, you got. I'm not going home. Three hours you're not going home to to bail him out. No, I'm going to the gym, I'm doing, I'm going to HomeSense, I'm getting a Starbucks and I'm touring around. And that was my Sunday afternoon.

19:18 And let me tell you, every other mom in the city was at still had home sense with their Starbucks. I can tell you that right now because that was busy. It was very busy and it was raining that day. So it just happened to be, you know, the perfect day to go shopping. Is this weird? I don't think that's weird. I think I thought this was going to be a very relatable thing, like your kids. Sure, it's very relatable. Does everybody else just up and leave their house all the time? Like you just leave and you leave? Yell at your partner at home with all the kids. Yes, well, you that's. What I don't I don't do. That you just did. Well, I had to because I had, I had to drive the carpool. He what?

19:59 But Jeremy could have done it. Yes, he could. Have and we're done. And I wouldn't have my time.

20:51 You're probably listening while you empty your stomach like most people. You know what I mean? Like with OK, you've been. Scrolling through reels so long your legs are numb. Yay. Well, I just read something that you shouldn't sit on the toilet for longer than 10 minutes or something like that. Yes, yeah, because. That's a whole thing. I don't, I don't know why. I'll tell you it. Made me put my phone down and OK wash my hands. Didn't wash the phone, but you washed your hands. Perfect. OK, well since you brought up sitting. Yes.

21:31 Let's talk about exercise for just a moment. The thing you're doing more of now, Rachel, since. You're going to the gym. That's right, you're. At the gym, so while I'm not. Back to classes. Yet though I'm not. I'm not quite. There. Well, So what are you doing at the gym then? What do you do? When I just work out by myself, well, more alone time. More alone time, how many then while you're working out and you would know this would be fresh in your mind, 'cause I'm, I'm not a member at a gym. If I, if I do any exercising, it's, it's running, it's golfing, it's in the house doing some, I'll figure something out. But it, I don't go to the gym, right. You keep track like while you were at the gym with your free time, how many push ups did you do? None.

22:15 I didn't do push ups. Do you always do push ups? I don't like push ups. I think there's other things I could do. Push up, but if push up. Is a decent full body workout? Well, most body workout. I thought I read somewhere and and and I could be mistaken. And if I am, you get what you get and you don't get upset when you listen to this podcast. Remember that. But I that the the push up is like the the perfect sort of. Full body full. Body exercise in which you there are a number of things that come into play if you do it properly when you do a push up. So you're going to use your, your arms, you're going to use your, your, your abs to a certain extent because you got to keep them straight.

23:02 And your shoulders your. Shoulders and your yeah, all of that stuff comes into play so that the push up is essentially, you know, I don't know. Maybe that's all you need. One and done. Well, not. You need to do more than. Well, one exercise. I mean they. Say as I've googled this, as you as you've talked, the the classic exercise is a good measurement of muscle strength and endurance as we age according to the excerpts, because they engage most muscle groups in the body. Each push. All right, so I OK, so I, I wasn't that far off the mark. So how many push ups could you do right now without stopping? Me. Well. Not very many. All three of us, How many could you do for me? About 20.

23:46 About 20. There was a time when I could do a lot because I was working out a very pre COVID, I could do a lot. OK, like a lot. How many? How many? I would say at least 20 like foreman 25 maybe, I don't know. OK, you're doing like real push ups, not on your knees, right? Push ups on your knees are real push ups. OK, those are. Real push ups. OK, those are children's push ups. They're not children's push ups. They're. Not push ups. They're not push ups. No, they're not. No, you're not. Doing anything, you guys wouldn't know that because you're not ladies. But you're not. You don't know that. If you do a push up from your knees, you're not even doing anything. Yes, you're engaging your core. You can do a plank from your knees, you know that. That's not a plank.

24:34 Yes, it is. You can do it from your knees. You can do it with your your hands down, or your elbows down, or your knees, or your toes. Well, I can ride a bike too of slowing somebody, you know, like and and and not do anything if the, if it's a tandem bike and the person in front is doing all the work for me, well, that's. It sounds that person never does any work, I'll tell you that. Yeah. So I know how that works. I know how it works. Look. If I had to do push ups from my toes I could probably only do like 3. Foreman, you said probably 20. 20 are we, are you making us demonstrate these right now or no? OK, no. I'm ready to go because I wasn't. Well, yeah, not ready to go, but I could get through. It I think I could probably get through it too. I I haven't done and and I read this today. I I read this today and I thought. I think.

25:21 I I should start doing more push ups because I know that they're a a a decent workout and you really only have to do it maybe twice a day and you're going to get a have decent workout if you just try to do as many as you can. Do I think I can do, I would say between 10 and 15 before I would go, yeah, maybe that's enough. You say 24. Minutes before you get to exhaustion, though you could probably do more. Well, you start slowing down like you start to get, you're going faster the beginning, and then you get slower and slower and then it's much harder to get. All the way back up. OK, well, you lose momentum. Here we go. The Mayo Clinic posted guidelines for how many push ups men and women should be able to do at various ages.

26:03 Ohh boy this is starting. At the age of about 25 all the way to the age of 65, OK. You're just prepared for it to be impossible. Well, and these are real push ups. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna feel bad, I think. Real push from your toes. Is there even a mention of the word knee in any of this? No, it doesn't say knee anywhere here. I'm Google. Hang on, let me Google. No I'm not, you can Google them. OK. If you're 25 years old for women you should be able to do 20 push ups, for men 28. If you're 20. Five if you're 25. 28. Yeah. Guess I'm not 25 anymore. No, you aren't 35 Foreman.

26:45 This is close to you. 19 for women Rate Rachel. 19 I should be able to do. Well 35 year old could should be able to do 19 and 21 for 35 year old male. OK, so add a couple years I. Could do one more. Yeah. But now I'm there, not quite 35 anymore, so maybe 20 is fine. Yeah, 20 is fine now. We've met the bar 40. Five years old. So this is you guys aren't even not. Exceed the bar? Yeah. Yeah, 45 year olds, Rachel. So you're not quite there yet. Not there at all. Not quite there at all. On your way there, Rachel, you should be able to do 14 as a woman, not from your. Knees.

27:30 When you're 45. That's quite a drop off down to 14, yes. From 16 for men at the age of 45. OK, 55 women should be able to do 10, men should be able to do 12. That's it. That's it. And 6510 and 10, same for both. So I said 10, maybe 15 if I if I really pushed myself. I could maybe eke out 10 maybe at this point. Eke out so you're a 65 year old if. We basically. You guys are just adding to my sad sad life. Last time of my week is going shopping alone but I can't do any push ups. I'm doing 3 push ups for my knees. This is due to underwhelming demand.

30:28 Did make it painless and when the. With the lack of an an official business sponsor for this episode, you could say that people like Jerry are sponsoring this episode because Jerry bought us 3 coffees. Wow. Which you can do very easily through underwhelming not CA. And she says I gotta support my fave trio. Congratulations on 100th episode. That's nice. Thank you, Jerry. Thank you. Jerry was at our 100th episode as well. She came to the the taping. So thank you. Mm, hmm. God. We got to beg. Thank you for sponsoring this episode with the five coffees you've purchased. Wow. Thank you, Jim Bag. Yes, awesome. Can't believe I'm still listening to the podcast. Oh well, we can't either. But you get, you get what you get and you don't get upset, Jake. Exactly.

31:11 That's the mission statement here. And of course, thank you so much to Jake, who bought us 10 Coffee. Wow. That's amazing. Yeah, Jake says. I love your guys podcast. Always look forward to Tuesday mornings. You never fail to make my day. Really. Never fail. Sounds like a challenge. Yeah, you get what you get, Jake. And you don't get upset. You don't forget. Yeah. Don't, don't report court back. Thank. You all right, Don't forget if you if you know someone who might be interested in sponsoring this podcast or if you yourself do go to our website underwhelming.ca or Dave rachelforeman@gmail.com, get a hold of.

31:51 Us, yes, we give a lot of love to our sponsors. So that's not underwhelming, as you might have noticed. They get what they get, and they are not. Upset. They are not upset. No, not that we've heard. They have no reason to be. In fact, we got an e-mail from Deb Who says, Hey Dave, Rachel Foreman, thanks to listening to your podcast, we heard about the ladies foursome at the Thistle Theatre in Embro. We attended their performance on November 9th. They were fabulous. We were out loud laughing and at the intermission they brought out baked goods and water for a donation. It was a fun night and a nice way to support local theater. Thanks again. Oh my God. So thank you Deb. And I said wow, I'm so glad you went.

32:32 Thanks for listening. And she said we love your podcast. We have not missed 1 yet. So thank you to Deb and Dick. OK for listening to us and supporting our sponsors. Speaking of Embro, Lori says I heard your blurb about the Embro Santas and I live in Embro. I think it's a money grab like Rachel. Yeah, thank you. I do think it's a money grab because they've made a contest around it. If it was just like, hey, here's a fun idea, sure, but you've made it a full contest, you know? Yes, Aaron has sent us a message suggesting Rachel that you should look into finding an osteopath.

33:13 Not sure specifically what this is in response to Aaron, but Aaron went on to say they focus on your entire body. So they look at your muscles, tendons, ligaments and spine and from there they can feel what areas have. I've used the osteopath. And then we were talking about the horse, weren't we? Not Rachel, but OK. Yeah, I think so, yeah. I don't know, but I have gone to an osteopath and I think Foreman, you were the one that put me on to 1 after I had Kendall and I went and she fixed the pain like first, first try. Oh. Gosh, I love osteo. Yeah, I was like, I didn't know what she did. She kind of moved my leg one way and moved it another and then. It's not cracking you and stuff like a, it's like, it's going down all the like between your muscles and your bones and it's relieving all that pressure.

33:58 And you almost feel like, oh, that's a lot, That's a lot, that's a lot, that's a lot. And then they let go and you're like, oh, I feel like putty. There you go. Wow, OK well Andy, I've only got a few times but it did work for me so shout out to any osteopaths who want to sponsor. Just Ellen. Yes, Ellen's been catching up. She, I think she's still in the summertime episodes at the moment. And right now it's November at the time of this recording. She said, though, that you guys make me laugh all the time. Oh, and Rachel, I'm going to look into that book series you were talking about. You'll love it if you finished it, though I have to say I haven't finished it yet. We didn't know that, but we knew. That five books. We knew you wouldn't. But I'm going to I have them at my house. That was months ago.

34:41 Yeah, sure. Just like you're gonna golf and ski. Yeah, I play the ukulele. She did add, by the way, that if you find that you like that kind of thing, which you don't know yet because you haven't finished right, then you need to look into all the connected stories from Sky Purrington, OK? Wizards, Dragons, Norse gods, Vikings, and a whole lot more. Interesting. OK, I was never into fantasy even watching it other than Game of Thrones. I did get into that. Did you see they have shared that they are starting starting to work on the movie? A movie. With the same people or different people? I hope it's different. Really different people.

35:22 From the way it ended it. Would be the same OK. All right. Yeah, well, a lot of people died. Spoiler. Sorry, be more specific. OK, OK, I am very special. What do you mean a lot of people died? Yeah, it's Game of Thrones. That's what happened. Well, if you haven't watched it. That's a horse. I think a horse lost the head in the first episode, so. Oh. Yeah, OK. Speaking of horses, I have a very special e-mail from one of our favorite listeners, Foreman. Mom, Great. She has written this again because we were talking about Windsor and ENP equine massage and nerve release in our last episode. She was our sponsor.

36:04 Anyway, she says. Dear Dave, Rachel and Foreman, She doesn't call you by your real name. Foreman As a segue to your last episode with your fine sponsor ENP Equine and Massage and Nerve Release, I thought I would share this video of Windsor who is in fine form at the age of 2323 years old. Your brother is Equine massage is one of the many things you can do to keep your horse healthy and happy. Now she did share a Facebook video. But Kathy, I can't see it because I the it's been taken down or something. It doesn't exist. So I, I don't see it. I'm not sure. Anyway, she says in regards to this is for Dave, the digital bathroom scale that Dave mentioned his friend John bought as a birthday present for his wife. I bought one a few years ago at Canadian Tire and I love it. It comes with an app for your phone which records your weight, percentage of fat, hydration and muscle mass, your BMI, all relative to what is considered to be normal for your gender and height.

37:00 My height. Know any of? That my height dropped two inches last year, she says. Did you know that? Her home shrinking. She shrunk by two inches, she says. We recommend an osteopath. Is that, do they help with that your height? Gosh, I better get on that because my Nana just shrunk and shrunk and shrunk. She was like 4 feet tall by the end. On the first day of each month on the history page, it displays your weight on the day of the from the previous year. An interesting feature. Or maybe not. I don't think I would like that, Kathy. I don't want to see that either, no. I don't want to I. Don't know that you would like. This year you are way thinner. Have a great day. No thank you. PS Is there a typo in Aaron's e-mail address? It's missing AY at the end of her name. No, that's not a typo, that's her e-mail. I had to double check that myself, but that it wasn't a typo, just so you know.

37:52 So if you do need to get a hold of Aaron, that is her correct e-mail anyways. In the notes. OK. Thank you, Kathy. You would think we'd be done after that, but nay. Nay, not, nay 5. Jesus. Says Windsors brother, Foreman not. Me I'm. So mad at myself for opening that stall door. You do. You do the best. Hand that to me. You do the best. Just Rachel, here you go. Best you just animal like if you if you want to hear someone do animal like impersonations, you you need Rachel.

38:35 Need Rachel? To a party. That was a good one. She was. Yes, that was an. Excellent one, Thank you. Are you making fun of me? No. OK. Do you think I am? Yes, don't laugh. Don't laugh at that. The fact that you can't tell. I'm halfway through this beer. Continue with whatever you're going to talk. All right, we'll get a mouthful of it then and start listening to, you know, him, you love him, we can't live without him. A new voice memo from Scotty. OK, good. Hello. It's Scotty leaving a message this time. It's been a while, very odd to hear my name mentioned that your guys's live show, which was awesome by the way, the show, not my name.

39:22 So I've finally caught up. The reason I haven't messaged in a while is I started carpooling and yeah, they won't give me access to their Bluetooth on their phone so I can't listen. But I've been in a forklift the last little while. So yes, ladies, I am forklift certified and gentlemen too, whatever, I'm fine. So anyway, yeah, so I've gotten caught up in the last four or five episodes in the last two days. And so I was thinking as far as the hockey at the hotel, the hockey teams and stuff and being noisy. There was a a video that came out a few years ago about a lady standing in front of a doorway going. I didn't sleep because of y'all, so you ain't going to sleep because of me.

40:05 I'm sure you'll find it. That's what should happen to those teen parents that finally go to sleep. No, no, you don't let them sleep. You, you know, you might have to leave the hotel yourself before, you know, after you do that. But anyway. And I was also thinking about how often they used to call Foreman's old show. And there was a couple of things you said in this last episode that made me think about the times I would call in and and use it with bad puns. My wife has a pre signed divorce paperwork on the fridge that she will send in as soon as if I don't stop using puns.

40:47 So that was my outlet was the radio show. So when you were talking about Dave's buddy who bought a scale for his wife and then he said somehow he got away with it, he got. Away. With buying a scale anyway. I snort laughed in the forklift. But yeah, that was just for me I guess. And then when Rachel was talking about sorry about that, you can edit that out when Rachel mentioned the the the vacuum and it wouldn't make a good gift. I was going to say so as a gift, vacuums suck. That's the kind of thing I would call in with Foreman's old show with as well.

41:32 So bad puns. That's all about me. So anyway, loving the show. You guys really, really knocked it into the park. There was some audio issues, but who gives a crap. But yeah, that's that sounded very entertaining. I wish I would have been there. All right, talk to you later. Bye. Thank you Scotty, that made my day. That was awesome, Wow. I'm so glad. I love the puns, Scotty. Keep it coming, Keep them coming. Want to do the horse again? No. No, nay, don't you? Nay, nay. So my question is what kind of blow UPS do you have in your house?

42:19 That is not an appropriate conversation. You're right, you're probably right.
